Report
Great for traditional appointments - in person. Don't waste your time with virtual appointment. From what I can tell, you sign up for an appointment and sit in a virtual waiting room until you realize you're not getting to speak with the doctor. No acknowledgment, no reassurance they will be with you anytime in the near future. An hour passes and I hadno idea if anyone knows I'm waiting, and I need advice.

This receptionist named "justice" called me and asked me a question pertaining to my boyfriend.before I could get a sentence out she hangs up in my face. Three zero stars for her extremely rude and unprofessional behavior.if their front desk is this bad. Who can say what the doctors are like

Never on schedule. Doc makes appts for hours before he actually arrives so not surprising that the wait is 30+ minutes past scheduled appt time. And the staff can't seem to understand why this would upset anyone, after all it's all retired folks with nothing better to do, right? If that weren't rude enough, it's false. I bring my Mom, for example, and need to get back to work! About to leave again as 30 minutes past appt time is 3 minutes away. Definitely finding another practice.
